SSS vs GG

Sreevats Goswami (Southern Super Stars captain) - Life is good. I was scared - We won the first two matches and we don't want to lose the first one in my captaincy. Today was exceptional. The bowlers were superb and executed as per the plan. Mendis didn't bowl. When you have so much options, it makes my job easier. The best part is that we have the core group intact. We won matches, so the bond will get better. 

Hamilton Masakadza (Legend of the Match) - That's a secret. I have played a few club Cricket back home and I am striking the ball really well. We just stick to what we do inside the first six and maximise the powerplay. And we did that. I was ready to go today

Shikhar Dhawan (Gujarat Greats captain): We were less by 20-25 runs, should have scored more. That's why they didn't have pressure chasing. It's not an easy wicket to bat on, especially in aT20 where you have to take risks. Their spinners are quite good, they know where to bowl, that's where they are taking the advantage. Hopefully the wicket is better over there (Surat) more of a flat wicket would help in playing better T20 cricket.

Southern Super Stars won by 8 wickets

Negi seals it in style and the Superstars' red-hot form continues as they picked up their third consecutive victory. They are proving to be the team to beat in this competition. After a hard-fought against the Indian Capitals, the Super Stars produced a clinical performance in all facets off the game. Restricting an opposition to a below-par score, Guptill scored a couple of boundaries in the first over but his stay was short-lived

His departure led to an impact player to arrive to the crease and it was Hamilton Maskadza. He was unstoppable from the word go, showcasing his range of shots on both sides. His assault inside the powerplay helped the Super Stars to finish on a strong note. Shikhar's bowling changes to stop Masakadza didn't reap rewards until Quadri got rid of him

His onslaught put his team in cruise control and made things easier for Negi and Goswami to finish the formalities quickly. This is a comprehensive victory and they stay on top with six points

14.3 Seekkuge Prasanna to Pawan Negi, SIX TO FINISH THE GAME OFF! Nicely tossed up around off stump, Negi ran down the wicket, got to the pitch, and mowed it through the line, sending the ball towards the sightscreen. The Superstars complete a double over the Greats!

14.2 Seekkuge Prasanna to Shreevats Goswami, flung in full on the pads, Goswami has a swing at it, gets it towards deep backward square for a run

13.6 Liam Plunkett to Shreevats Goswami, on a length around leg stump, dabbed towards the man at point. There's a mis-field, but Goswami wasn't looking at the fielder by then

13.5 Liam Plunkett to Shreevats Goswami, GLORIOUS! Slower ball, pitched up outside off, Goswami opened his blade, extended his arms and drove this over extra cover

13.5 Liam Plunkett to Pawan Negi, wide, slower ball, down the leg side as Negi swipes at it and misses. Van Wyk fumbles it on the bounce, allowing an extra run

13.4 Liam Plunkett to Shreevats Goswami, length on leg stump, Goswami, cramped for room, dabs this straight at the fielder at short third. Just the single

13.3 Liam Plunkett to Shreevats Goswami, Goswami was down the wicket early, Plunkett saw that and banged this in short, following him. Goswami had to sway away from the ball eventually

13.2 Liam Plunkett to Shreevats Goswami, back of a length on middle and leg, Goswami hops on his toes and dabs this towards deep third. A terrible throw from the deep, no immediate backup up, and so, the batters get two

13.1 Liam Plunkett to Shreevats Goswami, CARVED AWAY! Back of a length around middle, Goswami ran down the wicket, slashed at this one, and found the gap at point

12.6 Manan Sharma to Pawan Negi, on a length, angled across the batter. Negi looked to play for the turn, was beaten as this one went straight through
